All religions promise a
reward ... for excellences of the will or heart, but none for
excellences of the head or understanding. - Arthur Schopenhauer

What
is even more certain is that religions punish those that challenge their
sacred cows and shibboleths. - Site author Armstrong

is generally and usually invalid? In 1986, lava came out of Mt. St.
Helens volcano. In 1997, five samples of the lava flow were
analyzed and dated by the method of radioisotope ( potassium - argon
method to be exact) : the result was not only that contemporary events
were dated differently, but that the actual date (just 11 years) yielded
dates ranging from less than half a million years to almost 3 million
years . The maximum percentage error committed in this "measurement" is
about to 2,000,000,000% , two billion percent! Do not laugh at the
thought of ancient fossils are dated using this " advanced scientific
technique."
